say what????? :)

Rod holders are only good for holding spears.

I think I need to get some professional therapy for rod holder addiction.
I'm up to 24 holders on my Tsunami..not counting the few others that we use for the two nets.
I've Pretty much maxed out the space on the arch, the gunnels, and the down riggers.

Hey Dogbomb the fishing is pretty good from what I hear on Powell.You could get a whole new addiction once you start fishing. Boat looks good by the way. Back east we're waiting for two feet of snow,( so much for hoping to get an early start to the season)

Thanks John! Who knows, the fishing gene may kick in once I get her in the
water. I'm hoping to get her wet on April 10, just for a test run to be sure
she floats. Wish me luck...
I hope that snow scrams ASAP!

Time to break out the champagne...almost.

Dragged the old girl over to my favorite gas station and filled up
that nice, clean tank. This station is usually empty, but not yesterday;
it was crawling with cars and I did an excellent job of clogging up the
traffic flow. Still, 3 separate people complimented on the boat and wanted
to know more about her. That was cool!

I had never tested the trailer since replacing the bearings, seals, springs and
u-bolts, so I took a freeway cruise up and down the 405. She towed true
and nothing exploded. Hooray.

Now she runs off her own tank, and that Suzuki just purrs.
Adjusted the throttle and shift cables, bled the steering for the second time,
and suddenly realized that she could, in theory, be ready for her water test
on schedule. Never thought I'd get here!

Still have a million details to address before I splash her, but I'm
optimistic. Thanks to y'all for getting me to this point!

She's lookin' good, congrats!

I cant believe this is the same boat that was sitting in my backyard.You have done an outstanding job in bringing her back to life in such a short time frame.
It must be that nice California weather that allows lots of work time, either that or I only work at a snails pace.
Congrats on bringing the old girl back to life.

Man did you do a great job, boat and trailer. I love the clean deck and coaming. Congrat's on a job well done.

You've done a fine job! She looks sweet!

You da bomb!!!!!

Very nice job, nothing like having people comment on your boat which makes all that hard work worth it!! :)
